I love the new stadium.  Fremont is in Alameda County as is Oakland so it's not like they picked up and moved to Las Vegas as was threatened under the Schott-Hoffman regime.  Essentially if you live in Marin, Sonoma, Walnut Creek, etc. you are only an extra fifteen minute car ride away.  Plus from what I've read they are going to put a new BART station right near the new park.  Billy Beane is a smart guy.  The Oakland A's are a brand name (as we are constantly reminded by the A's Brand commercials).  I think there is only a 50-50 shot you see an Oakland A's of Fremont tag.  I see them staying as just the Oakland A's.  The New York Giants and Jets play in New Jersey and they don't recognize that at all.  The Detroit Pistons play in Auburn Hills which is an even better example.

The new stadium will bring in additional revenues which will hopefully get us finally over the hump and win us that elusive tenth World Series.
